Those paper prototypes were added to War Thunder years ago, back when introducing modern MBTs was out of the picture, so the developers needed to fill gaps in the tech tree. While I agree with other players’ assessment that removing the Panther II without introducing a similar vehicle doesn’t scream good balance, I also agree with Gaijin‘s general idea that paper tanks don’t belong in the game and thus should be removed now that there’s no shortage of vehicles in the German lineup. The first three vehicles are “paper tanks”, meaning that they were never built and only blueprints of them exist. This leads to the issue at hand today, as less than two weeks ago Gaijin Entertainment revealed that they plan to shake up the German tech tree with the removal of the Panther II, the Flakpanzer 341 (Panther-based anti-aircraft vehicle), Tiger II with 105mm cannon, and Maus. We have no over arcing war yet.I know this article won’t be of much interest to the majority of my readers, but as someone who’s been on a love/hate relationship with War Thunder pretty much since it launched in Alpha, I can’t not talk about the upcoming removal of the Maus super-heavy tank from the game.Īdded back in 2015 as (then) the top of the line in the German tech tree, the Maus has been either oppressor or oppressed for most of its life, as it would originally stomp all opposition (unless targeted by close air support, the behemoth’s biggest nightmare for most of its limited lifetime), but with the introduction of modern MBTs and ATGM carriers, that has now become a thing of the past, thanks to HEAT-FS and APFSDS ammunition rendering its bulky and cumbersome armor a hindrance rather than a survival mechanism. You aim, range shot, adjust, fire the battery at co-ords you just called in.Įdit - Yes I recognize, that command could very well put more assets/support into a successful battle point to possibly make a break through of enemy lines. Lastly, why is there a "mini - game" of air support and not artillery? Lets get those battleships off shore (how cool would that be), or arty for inland maps or until warships are supported. If it's a Russian tank, maybe they painted it pink and something homo erotic on the side so Putin had to smite it. Perhaps they stuck a banana in the exhaust, or poured sugar in the gas tank. I prefer infantry snuck up on your idle tanks and threw a grenade in a hatch. If this idea doesn't fit, then remove the win more cost, just put it on a cool down.Ĭonsequences of activation: If you die in plane, your tank dies also. Skirmishes/battles that are going poorly would need/get air support from "command". Your repair time becomes less of a helpless video of destruction and becomes an aerial retribution. Your tank receives damage X number of times and you can spawn a plane. This also decreases the actual "game play" of the plane.Ĭost of activation should be reversed entirely. This rewards a more reckless, EZ mode kamakazi (to aim, I know plane collision does no damage). So the faster your plane dies, the faster you get back to tank. Would a skirmish/offensive that was succeeding get more air support if it didn't need it? Activation by playing as you normally would is the wrong (making kills). I think I might just permanently migrate away from arcade battles.Įdit: I'm talking about things like taking away all aiming support, making the bomb load smaller (or smaller bombs), and using earlier planes, all as a means to reduce their impact but keep them in-game. What would be your thoughts on simply making the planes harder to use and less effective? And with some other means of acquiring 'plane points' other than already doing well? It's gotten to the point that when I use a bomber, I feel a little dirty - it's simply far too easy to kill an enemy tank.
The third, I was capping a point with one other tank. In two of my 'deaths' in that game I mentioned as an example, I was alone, behind buildings, and fully aware of the incoming planes. I am however already fully aware of all these tactical decisions, however - It's not like I'm at all new to the game (have most of the German tank tree unlocked, almost the Russian tanks too, as an example of how long I've been playing)
